I want to work through category theory for the working mathematician by Mac Lane and the followup book Sheaves in Geometry and Logic by Mac Lane. I have a PhD in pure math but I'm somewhat slow and not the brightest. I was looking for someone who would be interested in working through these books with me or someone who already knows the subjects and would be able to check my answers to the solutions. I intend to try to solve every exercise.

About me: I'm very friendly and silly and like anime

Type theory or topos theory?
I've gone through a decent chunk of MacLane's book on topoi, and have probably seen more or less everything in his category theory book at some point or another, so I'm happy to check your answers to exercises, or discuss any questions. I'll say that you shouldn't probably aim to go through every exercise unless you were trying to get a migraine. At a certain point, it'll get very tedious. Moreover, it is very difficult to learn category unless you have some kind of motivation; it is very dry on its own. That said, one person who manages to make it rather interesting as a standalone subject is Richard Southwell, whose youtube channel is a goldmine.

Do you know or apply spaced repetition, active recall reading? I'm also like you (and I'm still working on it) but what I realise is that experts constantly (usually in their head) are always working examples of what they learnt even as their reading it and constantly after, which helps with memory. They also have a clear structure of concepts

what are some of your favorite breakthroughs in technological or biological history? this guy Max Bennett is saying there were five evolutionary breakthroughs that ultimately led up to the human brain, and I'm curious to see what he has to say about the incredible difference in intelligence between rats and mice: rats are basically like small dogs, mice are more like mammalian bugs.

rats have a huge hippocampus so that may be one of his breakthroughs, but I haven't yet read thoroughly enough to say.

Faking the moon landings again isn't interesting like it was for Boomers, especially because it's just an excuse to insert women and minorities into any space a White man ever (allegedly) occupied.
Unfortunately Netflixing the Apollo missions simply won't work, so they need to create a whole new production and then piss and moan and try and shame people for not watching it like they do any original media product they make that invariably bombs.

It isn't worrying. It merely confirms that the public are cattle that only care about monkey crap like celebrity drama and stuffing their fat faces. Anything that is done simply to prove humanity's power and reach is something they can't understand, because cattle are naturally utilitarians and can't accept anything that doesn't involve shovelling food or drugs into poor people. China will beat us in colonizing space because they have engineers in government running things instead of a democracy filled with lawyers.

Of recorded violent crime. Have you stopped for a moment to consider that individuals with higher IQ would be more capable of recognizing patterns that allow for commiting violent crime without detection?

This is Paracelsus, a hermetic alchemist, or proto chemist; also the greatest natural physician of his day, and a father of mineral medicinals.

He believed he could produce a slave creation, or a familiar of sorts—the Homunculus—by ejaculating into a chicken egg, or worse.

— ‘That the sperm of a man be putrefied by itself in a sealed cucurbit for forty days with the highest degree of putrefaction in a horse's womb ["venter equinus", meaning "warm, fermenting horse dung"], or at least so long that it comes to life and moves itself, and stirs, which is easily observed. After this time, it will look somewhat like a man, but transparent, without a body. If, after this, it be fed wisely with the Arcanum of human blood, and be nourished for up to forty weeks, and be kept in the even heat of the horse's womb, a living human child grows therefrom, with all its members like another child, which is born of a woman, but much smaller.’ 328–329

The original coomer, if you will.

Cube Theory

At the lowest Planck scale exists a Pi quantity of fundamental, foundational building blocks comprised of Red/Green/Blue Magnetized +/- [Cubes] traveling upon a 3D square grid track lattice layer ###

Magnetism is the singular force of movement that exists in the universe, outside of the initial Big Bang separating force
All forces of movement are simply emergent magnetism at higher Planck layers/levels once enough parts connect together to build up higher and establish more movement gimbals outside of the base foundational cardinal 3 dimensions the cubes move upon the track of forward/back, left/right, up/down.
The weak/strong nuclear forces, gravitation, electricity, torque, heat, work of any kind are magnetism emergence once the track layers of complexity have built up for that movement direction of attraction/repulsion and how they all interact the repulsions/attractions while interacting together at the same time down through the layers to the magnetized RGB cubes themselves moving individually.

We misunderstand the wavelengths of light to be the source of color, but the wavelengths themselves are comprised of smaller Red, Green, Blue building block cubes.
Color is carried up through the ratio scales of Planck complexity so that everything in the universe has color and magnetism.
We can think of color as being another foundational force aside from magnetism.

What is this geological feature? A quick google and search of wiki didn't bring anything up.

I assume it's an old inactive rift zone, maybe the south and eastern edge of a failed microplate, but it looks more pronounced than the active rift boundary to the west and I've never heard of anything related to it (volcanoes, earthquakes, etc). It's too big and obvious to be an artifact of the mapping.
